classic quotations
1, the theory of traditional Chinese medicine is completely macroscopic and holistic. It has no analysis and does not go deep into the structure, parts, cells and cells of the human body, so its advantage is a holistic view, but its disadvantage is that it is only holistic, so it is holistic [1].
2. It is not the so-called combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine to absorb all these achievements of western medicine from the perspective of human science, but I think it is wrong to use western medicine to transform western medicine. Instead, Chinese medicine is used to transform western medicine, and all the achievements of western medicine are absorbed into human science.
3. It is a heavy research work to sort out and explain TCM theories in modern language.
The human body is an open and complex giant system.
5. TCM theory is not a science in the modern sense, but a natural philosophy in the traditional sense. The future of medicine lies in the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine, not in anything else.
6. Western medicine originated and developed in the "analysis era" of science and technology, that is, in order to deeply study things, analyze things as their components and understand them one by one. This has advantages and is easy to understand, but it also has disadvantages, which divides the original whole thing. This is also a problem of western medicine. But this shortcoming was pointed out by Engels as early as 100 years ago. About twenty years ago, it was finally recognized by the vast scientific and technological circles that it was called the "system era" to restore the "system view". The direction of human science is Chinese medicine, not western medicine, and western medicine should also follow the path of Chinese medicine.
7. The theory of TCM is speculative, or "natural philosophy" as Engels said, not natural science.
8, can not be obsessed with a few Chinese medicine classics, closed. Under the guidance of Marxist philosophy, we should combine the good things of Chinese and foreign medicine and promote the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine with systematic science, that is, medical modernization.
9. TCM theory is pre-science, not science in the modern sense. Traditional Chinese medicine cannot be explained by modern scientific systems such as physics and chemistry. Traditional Chinese medicine is a pre-science, not a modern science in the modern scientific system.
10. Looking back at the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the state had made clear the importance of Chinese medicine at that time and put forward the requirements for the modernization of Chinese medicine. But the question of how to modernize seems to have become the so-called combination of Chinese and western medicine. In other words, it is unscientific to treat Chinese medicine, and western medicine science should be used to realize the modernization of Chinese medicine. However, whether this method can be successful seems to be worth considering. At a meeting a few years ago, I met Professor Kuang Ankun, a famous expert in integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine. We had a good talk that night. I told him at that time that it was impossible to combine traditional Chinese and western medicine and make traditional Chinese medicine scientific with western medicine, because the guiding ideology of traditional Chinese medicine was too different from that of western medicine. The characteristic of traditional Chinese medicine is to look at the problem from a whole and a system. Professor Kuang listened to my words and said that he had been engaged in the integration of traditional Chinese and western medicine for 30 years, and he felt a little unable to go on, so he was glad to hear me propose another direction. In other words, he has been engaged in the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine for 30 years, and finally he is very upset, which shows that the problem is not that simple.
1 1. Everyone says that Chinese medicine is in danger of dying out because there is no successor, which shows that the problem is not simple.
12, we talk about the future scientific revolution, from the micro to the whole.
13, a group of people think that Chinese medicine is self-contained, independent and completely scientific. These people say that the theory of traditional Chinese medicine is a treasure, which I admit is a treasure, but they also add that this treasure is not allowed to move. It is these people who oppose the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine. There is another kind of people, we call them field theorists. Anyway, Chinese medicine can't say clearly, so it created a field, a human body field, an aura and so on. What is the basis for these people to create this field? Perhaps by imagination, I think there should be such a field.
